Women from various walks of life-prototypes of Daisy Miller, Isabel Archer, and Undine Spragg-crossed the oceans in record numbers. As they traveled abroad to faraway destinations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, China, and India, many recorded their experiences and their impressions of foreign lands. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Women speak for themselves in Telling Travels, a selection of narratives from travel books by nineteenth-century American women. Included here are such famed authors as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Nellie Bly, as well as rediscovered travel writers. Whether musing on the vagaries of journeying abroad or commenting on the history, politics, and customs of other lands, the writers express their cultural predispositions and reflect the changing dynamics of gender politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003cbr\u003e Note on the Text \u003cbr\u003e Emma Hart Willard: Journal and Letters, from France and Great-Britain \u003cbr\u003e Abby Jane Morrell: Narrative of a Voyage \u003cbr\u003e Sarah Rogers Haight: Letters from the Old World \u003cbr\u003e Catharine Maria Sedgwick: Letters from Abroad to Kindred at Home \u003cbr\u003e Caroline Stansbury Kirkland: Holidays Abroad \u003cbr\u003e Margaret Fuller Ossoli: At Home and Abroad \u003cbr\u003e Nancy Prince: A Narrative of the Life and Travels of Mrs. Nancy Prince \u003cbr\u003e Harriet Beecher Stowe: Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands \u003cbr\u003e Julia Ward Howe: From the Oak to the Olive \u003cbr\u003e Helen Hunt Jackson: Bits of Travel \u003cbr\u003e Kate Field: Hap-Hazard \u003cbr\u003e Lucy Seaman Bainbridge: Round-the-World Letters \u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman: Nellie Bly's Book \u003cbr\u003e Fanny Bullock Workman: Algerian Memories \u003cbr\u003e Constance Fenimore Woolson: Mentone, Cairo, and Corfu \u003cbr\u003e Agnes McAllister: A Lone Woman in Africa \u003cbr\u003e Notes \u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584739176728,"sku":"9780875801957","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/telling-travels-selected-writings-by-nineteenth-century-american-women-abroad-hardback-9780875801957","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
